Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In the literature, growth, welfare and gender regimes are usually treated separately. This means that fundamental debates in political economy, welfare state research and gender research are also conducted separately. This course is a modest attempt to bring these different debates into dialog with each other. It raises the question of the "electoral affinities" of the different regimes, i.e. to what extent they complement each other. At the beginning of the course, we will read basic theoretical texts on the respective regimes. The main focus of the course will then be the respective manifestations of these regimes and their possible interactions in the eastern EU member states. In addition, we will examine recent policy changes more closely in order to see how policies in one field influence other fields.
